“I could’ve had that” *down 40 army supply *8 supply in a useless mothership *10 tanks sieged on the high ground

[@Jordan-Ramses]

I think watching high level players makes them worse. They see good players use hit and run tactics. So they do it too. For no reason. Running from good fights. There were like 4 fights that if he just takes them he wins the game.

[@monotonie1399]

Almost gotem xD

[@noobzerg1990]

@@Jordan-Ramses oh man that one time where he had his entire army against 4 tanks 2 ghosts and he attacks and runs away and attacks again and runs away until he says screw it time to blink in after being shot by 4 tanks for almost a full minute because he just didn’t want to kill them lol

[@GeneGear]

he actually had it at kzbin.info/www/bejne/g56QgJlpidmFjbM. Literally, he was at Geodude's gates, and had enough storms to hold off the MMM while his stalkers could jump over the wall (or just go through the wall, he had an immortal and two Archons)

[@Jordan-Ramses]

@@noobzerg1990 yeah lol. And he was trying to stutter step and totally failing and just preventing his units from shooting. He just move commanded around while being shot.

[@danwelch5913]

Take moment to appreciate Hamster for all he does :). And yes....we love the Captain too :).

[@the_rabidsquirel]

The recall killed me. The game was so over at that point in favor of the Protoss, but then he just runs away so he can sit at his base.

[@TFWandyzilla]

I don't comment too often, but Hamster is a goddamn good editor

[@VinnieG-]

it's the teamwork that's so funny to me. S tier comparisons with some slick editing makes these videos true gems

[@mossblomma]

Honestly Harstem I think it's the other way around, he's trying to tell you that he's a plat player so don't expect anything good :D

[@mareksicinski3726]

I mean yeah that's the point

[@alainpedance8740]

I agree with you. He was definitely not bragging on that!

[@TrueThanny]

Asystole is pronounced ay-SYS-toh-lee. It's the medical term for when your heart completely stops beating, as opposed to when it's simply in arrest, where it's still contracting but failing to do so rhythmically. The latter is sometimes fixable with an electric shock. Asystole almost never is, because there's no rhythm to correct.

[@BossesOfTok]

the irony here 😂😂😂

[@seri-ously8591]

Well, glad they named themswlves that because the iodis matched that very condition. They sucked with no way to justify it.

[@WhitefoxSpace]

Asystole of the brain

[@tenwsluchawkach2670]

I love the brain in the units lost tab

[@fairlylost3250]

That one was brilliant. Very subtle!

[@Fummy007]

10:24 dont forget the most important unit that starts with an "M" MULE.

[@DelawareBrooks]

12:40 I like how the Terrans APM hits zero because not only the Protoss player is watching the Warp in but so is the Terran XD You can tell because as soon as they walk towards the TURRET, the Terran Scans!

[@Amoeby]

Terran couldn't see them during warping in bc they were too far from a turret.

[@yurimiyama9825]

@@Amoeby I thought you could? You can't see the units once they are finished but you could see the warp-ins, and since the Terran can't see the DTs, he/she knows that they are DTs, therefore scans (I think, maybe, perhaps LOL).

[@Amoeby]

@@yurimiyama9825 no, they are cloaked while warping in unless you have detection.

[@Amoeby]

@@yurimiyama9825 also he saw them while they were walking near the turret and then scanned.

[@Kerostasis]

@@Amoeby Cloaked yes, but you can see a slight visual distortion on cloaked units even with no detection. Since the Terran completely stopped everything else to study that pylon, and then scanned right after, he was probably looking for that distortion.

[@MrGreg242]

As a medical professional seeing the word Asystole in any context has preconditioned me to be like, well,this guy's a gonner. For those unaware Asystole is the flat line you see on cardiac monitors. Very bad. Means the person is literally dead.

[@hkalisvaart]

If this was Rank Roulette I would never have guessed platinum.

[@mikeceez123]

Literally what I was thinking not a chance in hell this is normal plat play. It would have a been gold 1 only because the Terran had ghosts and actually used them

[@Kaefer1973]

@@mikeceez123 The Terran was also good enough spending his resources, so a plat vs gold miss-match.

[@geuros]

Lemme get this straight. The Terran was far better player and still almost managed to lose. Wonder why.

[@mikeceez123]

Yeah that’s why it looks like gold it’s hilarious I remember recalling away from won fights

[@henningbreede6428]

@@geuros The only reason you think that the terran played better is that we didn't focus on the terran mistakes in the video since that's not the point of the series and would be mean. The terran did an insane amount of mistakes this game, his build order was total shit, so was his worker production, army composition and unit control. The terran managed to be behind in supply before anything in the game happened, that is not a better player.

[@pixelhistoricalwarriors]

15:40, my god. the quality of this edit is pure gold

[@Sara_Feingold]

These videos need a warning that watching while drinking is a choking hazard XD Calling out the holy trinity of idiocy almost killed me at the start XD And shout out to Hamster as well for those finishing touches like the race icon for Geodude or 1 brain unit lost XD

[@nnm711]

Oh no, if you see the extended, A4-sized IODIS complaint form instead of the usual postcard sized one, you know this is going to be good!

[@Shegin]

Would be amazing if we got to see Harstem microing in last fight vs lower level player (with starting game from replay option) who is focused only to throw emp correctly after toss going down the ramp. So we get to see how well this fight could actually be going in best case scenario (I bet it wouldn't be close in supply count for toss after fight even in best case scenario).

[@mareksicinski3726]

Winter did something like that with Angry Coach (once that I have seen, at least)

[@noobzerg1990]

well there isn’t much to control i mean look at the army it’s a pure a move army especially when the single ht gets emped there’s literally nothing to control apart from a move. Yet our very unintelligent protoss friend managed to screw that up anyway lol

Never ever played starcraft 2 in multiplayer. Still love iodis, keep it up Harstrem.

[@augustsbautra]

Asystole, there's a place for you in diamond yet! - Adopt an actual build order, Harstem recently covered a very effective blink-stalker opener by Zest kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqq7eKWMirx9nsk - Fix the money float by not being embarassed to build extra production. Have like 3 robos and 2 stargates constantly pumping out collosi and voidrays. Go up to 11 gates, whatever. - Look before you jump! On several occasions you move 4k worth of army into enemy fire. Always eyeball ahead when moving your most valuable units.

[@ryfors]

From the ball next to the name to the actual edit of the sensor towers and the reddit post. Hamster you are golden.

[@Hairintd]

Dear Harstem! I watched EVERY single video in playlist of IODIS, all of them! And i pressed like at most of them (well, my old brain is not so good at memorising stuff, so it could be not completely correct). And at least in two or three of these videos you was speaking about single episode when you agree that it was IMBA ("it" possible should be nydus+swarmhosts or something). BUT, i cannot found this video, even if i do some searching in youtube-playlist page source code. Could you PLEASE give me any clue to find this episode? I cannot sleep, cannot eat, cannot beat dudes on ladder... I'm so sad...

[@BossesOfTok]

0 apm and 16 apm 😳🤭 dude destroys terran army and recalls, i will answer his question for him, hes just a bad platinum player... running while winning with tons of storms, THEN deciding to take the fight from the low ground 🥴🥱 😳

[@danielhoward9729]

17:20 A move. Just A move. You lost because you're incapable of pressing A and then clicking behind the 4 unsieged tanks. Just kill the damn army with your shit tier zlots. Toss wins the base race. Hartsem please save your braincells.

Hello!! HARSTEM I need help, how to stop 3 Rax :( I don't know how to react to that build order as a protoss

[@spenserroxsox]

Sorry asystole but when you get diamond you will realize how many plat 2 cheeks you can clap in a row without breaking a sweat. Same goes for masters.

[@Galahad54]

Build order implies that you build. Sitting idle is not a build order. Pylon scout was good. Beyond that, I saw nothing to justify Plat 2.

Why would you recall out of a fight that you are winning thou at 14 min mark? Even thou you were off position terran turned back tried to fight you up a ramp into 4 stroms and a collosus you killed most and injured all why would you recall out of there and send the replay to a pro player man?

[@TheGahta]

Catz definitely wouldve guessed he is silver 🤣

[@MultiWicht]

Very bad idea for Beating GM with stupid stuff: you are only allowed to build units in alphabetical order. So Adept before Colossus before DT, etc…. You may choose to build the next unit in the order after having built the previous unit. You may also keep building previous units if the challenge proves to hard.

[@jmz4144]

Great episode as usual! My favorite series along with road to rank 1. Just FYI, for me the video is showing up as "unlisted" and is not visible in your uploads section (only under IODIS).

[@chi7818]

he throws out platinum because it's a lower rank so he wants some leeway. My micro wasn't great but for a platinum player it wasn't bad is an example. you can tell because the literal second sentence was "I'm a low level platinum 2 player". so yeah he wants you to overlook some mistakes because he's just a platinum player and not some grandmaster pro.

[@rappturephoenix9737]

I think the point of saying they are Platinum was this: A lot of Imba forms you judge from the perspective of a pro or Grandmasters. He's re-iterating that he understands he cannot play at that level, but his opponent should be at the same level that he is. So I got that he just wants to know, as a Plat player, is it Imba, or do I suck for a Plat player.

[@WhitefoxSpace]
